Surround yourself in patchwork

In keeping with yesterday’s patchwork-sort-of-quilt theme, here’s a variation. Like the card yesterday, I flat adhered the patterned pieces to a plain white base to keep them straight.

As I mentioned before, stampers who subscribed to the Holiday Stamp-a-Stack to Go may not have had the dies or punches needed to create cards like this one. And, speaking only for myself, I wouldn’t even try to get this round sentiment on a barely-bigger circle to mount on top of the red and green circle mats. Couldn’t do it.

My solution was to have them stamp on a white scrap, then adhere it behind the layered “donut.” This worked perfectly!

When I’m doing this kind of patchwork design, I like to emboss the completed panel with an all-over pattern, like Tasteful Textile, to give it a finished look.
